special requirements. The success of
their web-prInting and folding machines
is unparalleled in the history of printing
machinery. Their lithographic presses

at the head of this article. Among the
many features which conduce to their
great popularity and success may be
mentioned their compactnesS, simplicity,
durability, maximum of result from min
imnm of time and labor, and absolute
certainty of delivery and freedom from
cl0gging. This last result is secured
by using the smallest number of tapes
ard by having the sheet under positive
control at all times, so that it cannot
stray from its course or choke the fold

nearly every large city in the country,
and i'll no instance have theyfailcd to give
entire satisfaction. AS these machines
are built to meet special requirements,

personal interview. James Thompson,
the gentleman sent on by the manu-
facturcrs to set up the preSSes,is deserv-
ing of great praise for the rapidity with
which he did his work. Inside of six
days he had the first press in running
order, being ably assisted by Thomas
You'd, the GLOBE pressman.
